November 1 - Vienna

yeah, great! so i could listen to "Wasted Time" for the 2nd time live.

my personal highlights

Wasted Time (!!!)

Second Day / Firebox (perfect match)

Vasastan

Days of RnR - although Norum had some trouble with his guitar(s)

What ? They have replaced "scream of anger" with "wasted time" !!
A perfect setlist !
(It was the show where I was supposed to go , and finally I couldn't be there, unfortunately : can't believe it ! )

Vienna is far from where I live only about 2 hours drive by car, so I could not miss on that show.
The concert hall was one of those more intimate, which I visited. Very small stage space, auditorium capacity can't estimate - about 500 people(?) or less. I think that Joey had to a lot to control his temperament, because there was nowhere to take a run. The start was delayed by an hour, compared to the plan, but it was no problem. Guys showed once again outstanding, professional performance as we are accustomed to from them.

The strongest parts of the concert from my view:
1. The very beginning - I'm always so excited when during the intro of "War of Kings" guys coming on the dark stage and then when the lights up, it's like an explosion which hits all your senses.
2. "Wasted time" - I already heard it live twice before, but even so it was a nice surprise and a powerful song to hear again.
3. "Carrie" - you can think: nothing special, but I am every time completely moved by Joey's interpretation.
4. "Praise you" - my very favorite song. Here the experience compounded by the fact that I got the plectrum from John L. just before the end of the song... plus one very nice gesture from him, when I showed the pick in my hand. I was completely impressed.
5. I can't imagine Europe concert without "Rock the Night", just this is real Europe! They made it again so special. I tried to record at least a piece of it on my mobil phone (had in my pocket).
Guys enjoyed really a lot during the whole concert. Even though in the room was incredible hot, guys completely sweating after the third song in a way that made them sweat literally dripping. But to watch them was very pleasant. I don't know why, for some strange reason I love the sweaty male faces..
6. I should not forget to mention "Nothin' to Ya"- another very favorite song from the latest album. Never tired of it, and live just a blast.

What to say! Another fantastic show, from which I took home only the best impressions... and I will cherish them in my mind and heart for a long time.

I made only two short videos:
the first - "RTN" the sitting part- on the mobile phone
the second - "Vasastan" on camera, is not whole, sorry

You are welcome Eva Tomorrow. Yes, the session during RTN was spontaneous, Joey tested the crowd how long will sing
What a shame you could not attend, Eva. I had so nice company shortly before entering the doors with Michaela, and then again after the show.
You know, while I was waiting for the opening still out there, I remembered that I was mentioned here some time ago that I should stand at least for once on Norum side and enjoyed fully his playing. Since then I had 3 opportunities, but again I could not do it. Some voice from above commanded me: Go left! None at all logical reaction, this is more a chemical reaction. Hmm, I know
At night I saw some sweaty man on Europe fb page, so I slept badly... it is logical
